ndb with ts-node-dev

[marceloclp]

Steps to reproduce

Tell us about your environment:

• ndb version: ^1.1.5
• Platform / OS version: Windows 10 Home version 2004
• Node.js version: 12.16.3

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Please include code that reproduces the issue.

1. Install ndb@^1.1.5 and ts-node-dev@^1.0.0-pre.62.
2. Create a script inside your package.json with the following content: ndb tsnd --respawn -- src/main.ts
3. Run yarn run my-script.

Other relevant information:

• I am running a server at localhost:8080.
• I am trying to debug an endpoint at localhost:8080/channels.
• I am using NestJS.

What is the expected result?
The ndb gui should open, and src/main.ts should be executed.

What happens instead?
The ndb GUI opens, but the code never runs. It just gets stuck with the GUI opened.

Here are a few things that I have tried:

• Running ndb yarn run other-script, where the script is the exact code above tnsd --respawn -- src/main.ts. In this case, the code is executed, but I can't use the debugger. It will not stop at the specified breakpoints.
• Running ndb . and then running my scripts from the GUI.
• Reinstalling node-gyp.
• Installing ts-node-dev globally.

See #269
downgrade with npm i -g [email protected] may help?
I had a similar issue with debugger; not working inside a process deeper inside npm run test, and the downgrade worked. Maybe it will help you too?

Hey, thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately it didn't help. It's very weird because ndb npm run dev works but ndb <dev script> doesn't.
